\chapter{Discussion}
\label{chap:discussion}

In this chapter we will discuss our findings and the Open Governance Maturity Matrix in a broader context. Many questions arise and seem unanswered regarding our findings and we will try to discuss some relevant aspects of them. At the same time we will discuss whether we are able consider some of our findings as grounded theory, and if so, we will present the grounded findings in a generalised and workable manner and discuss how it can be used in future research. 

That will enable us to discuss to which extent we have answered our research question and come with suggestions to future research that can verify and validate our findings. \bigskip

\noindent First we will explain how the Open Governance Maturity Matrix for developing a sustainable open data collaboration between relevant smart city actors corresponds and lives up to the theory that we have have presented in chapter \ref{chap:theory}. This will provide the reader with an understanding and justification of the underlying ideas of the Open Governance Maturity Matrix. It is also important for us to show how the maturity matrix merge the well-founded presented theories and the ideas of the experts that we have interviewed.

After that we will go through the some of the mentioned relevant emerging unanswered questions regarding the maturity matrix and open up for a wider discussion.
